Yes, starting out (very) inexpensive is the way to go. If you find you love it, there's plenty of opportunity to go more upscale.
Thanks for the input everyone! You're all so kind and make me feel welcome. would this be a good beginners buy? http://www.hatsinthebelfry.com/product/belfry-bogart.html

HI, another newbie here. I have a pile of baseball caps to go with my t-shirt and jeans look but I'm considering going upscale, at least as far as looks. I have seen comments about how the hat should fit your face but I have no idea what that means. I'm 55 years old with a pudgy face like those Al Capone pics. I have a Disneyland hat (actually more than one) but I was thinking of the style with a band and lining. Some of the online stores don't specify if their hats are lined. My fat head excludes most "vintage" hats. Finally, I am cheap. I don't have the money for a custom hat. Sorry if this has already been answered but there are over 450 pages of questions in this thread alone!
Thanks!
Dan
Greetings, another new hat man here. Could you guys advise me on a first hat as to brand. Have been looking at Scala. Would that be a worthwhile purchase? Keep in mind that I need to start cheap.
Thanks
If I were you guys that are looking for an entry-level hat, I would keep an eye on the classifieds (if you know your size - if you don't know your size, get a cloth measuring tape and calculate it). I found one of my first real hats in the classifieds. It was a Stetson Royal De Luxe for $45 shipped. It's the hat currently in my avatar photo and is still one of my top 3 favorite hats.
